New to ? (Welcome!) Here's how to follow a account from here:

1. Enter the Twitter handle (say `foobar`) on [`beta.birdsite.live`](beta.birdsite.live/) (pro tip: better to [host your own instance](github.com/NicolasConstant/Bir)!)
1. Copy the resulting (pseudo) user ID (it'll be `@foobar@beta.birdsite.live`)
1. _Search_ for that ID on your Mastodon UI, and you'll see the new (pseudo) Mastodon account
1. Now you can follow it!

You won't be able to boost those toots, and your replies won't reach that user (since they're not actually on Mastodon). But at least you'll see their (Twitter) content on your timeline, and you can favourite, add to your lists, bookmark, etc.

Hey everyone! I'm a postdoctoral researcher working on the systematics and taxonomy of Gondwanan cave crickets. I'm a total sucker for anything with "subterranean" and "insect" in the same sentence.

Also: biogeography 🌏 , bioinformatics + phylogenetics 💻 , solarpunk ☀️ , neurodiversity 🧠 , queer visibility 🌈

Still figuring out how to work this website!
